How I Learned to Code: Lessons From Teaching Myself Web Development and Becoming a Paid Programmer in Only 3 Months
Finally available to Read On Your Computer, MAC, Smartphone, Kindle Reader, iPad, or Tablet. This book is the Full Story of my first year as developer.
Sitting in my cubicle at my fourth internship as an accountant, I decided I needed a change. A semester from graduating, I had no jobs lined up and neither did I want them.
I wanted to have a career that excited me, a career with vast opportunities and a career that didn’t require me to compete against thousands of graduates fighting for only a few hundred jobs.
I decided I wanted to become a developer and so I began teaching myself how to code.
Within 3 months, I had my first job, weeks before graduating my degree.
If you identified with the points above, I can confidently say that this book IS for you.
But, I don’t want you to get the wrong idea. This is NOT a guidebook for learning to code. Each language is vastly different and you can find resources for the specific path you wish to take on numerous websites around the net (I share a few in the book).
Instead, this book is part-memoir and part-advice. It’s my experience and it’s what I learned along the way.
Each chapter includes my own story as well as my top tips and best advice for achieving a similar path.
If you want to be inspired and informed about what you can achieve in a short space of time by pursuing a career with incredible demand, download or order the book now.
I look forward to seeing you on the inside.
Sincerely,
Chris

Huge letdown
A book on how to become a developer, written by a person that didn't become a developer... Very disappointing. Refund maybe?

Basic outline
Very short overview, however their are links to explore. I may re-evaluate after poking around. Not a lot of useful information for me in the book itself.

Exactly what he says it is
Really good book. Straight and to the point. Have been watching his videos for a while and I'm glad you got around to writing tour story here.
I hope you continue this
